SALTO Systems has added a new SALTO GEO electronic cylinder for cam locks to its model range, offering an easy way to boost security of these commonly used locks.
Cam locks are typically used to secure cupboards, document cabinets, school lockers, electrical panels etc and usually consist of a base, which contains a keyhole, and a long tailpiece or tongue known as a cam. Cam locks are one of the simplest of lock fastenings. The cam itself acts as a locking bolt and is directly operated when the card is presented by the user and turns the plug, the cam is rotated between 180 and 90 degrees, securing the lock. Depending on how the lock is installed, the cam will fit into the lock strike in one position, and will be free of the strike when moved to a different position.
